She's into superstitions Black cats and voodoo dolls I feel a premonition That girl's gonna make me fall She's into new sensation New kicks in the candlelight She's got a new addiction For every day and night She'll make you take your Clothes off and go dancing in the rain She'll make you live her crazy life But she'll take away your pain Like a bullet to your brain Upside inside out She's livin' la vida loca She'll push and pull you down Livin' la vida loca Her lips are devil red And her skin's the color of mocha She will wear you out Livin' la vida loca She's livin la vida loca Woke up in New York City In a funky cheap hotel She took my heart And she took my money She must've slipped me a sleepin' pill She never drinks the water And makes you order French champagne Once you've has a taste of her You'll never be the same Yeah, she'll make you go insane Upside inside out She's livin' la vida loca She'll push and pull you down Livin' la vida loca Her lips are devil red And her skin's the color of mocha She will wear you out Livin' la vida loca She's livin la vida loca She'll make you take your Clothes off and go dancing in the rain She'll make you live her crazy life Until you go insane No, you'll never be the same Upside inside out She's livin' la vida loca She'll push and pull you down Livin' la vida loca Her lips are devil red And her skin's the color of mocha She will wear you out Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca Upside inside out She's livin' la vida loca She'll push and pull you down Livin' la vida loca Her lips are devil red And her skin's the color of mocha She will wear you out Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca Livin' la vida loca
